<div>
<pre>The key repeat under wayland appears to behave differently, making keyboard
navigation e.g. in vim annoyingly unreliable. To reproduce, try the following
steps:
1. Open a file in vim (or a similar console editor) in gnome-terminal
2. The file should have at least 10 lines, which are all between 60 and 70
characters in length, filling up roughly the terminal width
3. Press down to start navigating downwards
4. Press right and as quickly as you can AFTERWARDS, release down
Result on X11: cursor navigates to the right until end of line or until right
key is released
Result on Wayland: cursor stops with releasing the down key, despite right key
still being pressed.
Since those "overlaps" between pressing cursor keys are something that simply
happens accidentally when navigating around, this makes keyboard navigation
feel unreliable and buggy.</pre>
